Soccer Saturday Sept. 26

Last weekend Chloe had a soccer game in Cedar City. She went for the pony hawk look.

Her team won. WOOT! WOOT! Still undefeated. Chloe had two goals and a couple of passes that resulted in goals. It was a fun game to watch.

 

A little worn out after playing so hard.

She is usually starving after a game. We decided to go to Pizza Factory before heading home. When we got there she said can I have pizza, salad, breadsticks, and pasta-haha! We got everything but the pasta and of course some cookie dough for dessert.

 

We love our funny, crazy, energetic girl.

Cheetos

Bryce loves Cheetos. I do not love the orange Cheeto Mess. He had the perfect solution...just let Beckett take care of it. HAHA

National Addiction Recovery Day

Chloe's bff Brydee's Dad has been struggling for years. He has been really sick, and hasn't worked for pretty much as long as we have known them 8 or 9 years. Finally his family came to grips with the fact that his problem was prescription drug addiction. Which the doctors have been giving him for years. Last month they put him in a rehab center which he will be in for about 4 months. Hopefully, this will be the start of good things for the family-as it has really affected them all. He really is a good guy with a good heart and by helping himself this way it will hopefully help his whole family. Last week they invited us to the National Addiction Recovery Day Celebration they were holding in the park. There was free food and a bounce house and games for the kids. A lot of the booths were run by people currently in the rehab centers in town, including Brydee's Dad. Bryce liked it all. Especially the free cotton candy and animal balloons.

Sophomore Picture

Yesterday I got Tanner's Sophomore Class Picture in the mail. Overall I like it; even though the smile is a little fake. I can't believe he is already a sophomore! Time flies!!!

Ward Party

Monday night we went to our ward party/social. It was a "fiesta" theme with really good fiesta lime chicken for dinner and a piñata for the kids. It was held at the Washington City Rec Center. The kids were glad to get one more swimming day in before summer was officially over.  

Weekend News: Yardsale, Baseball, Birthday Party

Chloe and Brydee are always looking for ways to earn a little bit of money. They have been wanting to get some pigs to raise. So they decided to have a yard sale. They collected items from parents, grandparents, and aunts. They sorted, priced, and advertised. Finally the day of the big sale was here.

There hard work paid off. They made $228. That is amazing considering the most expensive thing they sold was $5. They had a lot of stuff and they sold a lot. Good work girls.

While I was helping the girls at the yard sale. Tanner and Landon were off on their own adventures. First, they went to a little bit of The Utah Against Pornography Coalition presentation. Then, it was time for a little baseball. Tanner had a scrimmage game. He played second base the whole game. He did a good job. His team ended up losing by a couple of points though-too bad.

On Sunday the kids and I left church after Sunday School to go to a surprise birthday party for my aunt Shelly. We are trying to go to more things with that side of my family. At times it is a little uncomfortable but it is getting better and the kids are feeling more comfortable around most of the people. (I love Bryce in this picture)



Student Council

I forgot to post that Chloe is on student council this year. She is a 6th grade class representative. To run for this she had to show her grades from last year, nothing lower than a B (which she had no problem with), and write a page about why she should be chosen. They then held a vote and she won. She really wanted to run for secretary, but when she realized running for that position required giving a speech in front of the middle school student body she opted to just run for class rep. She is excited for this new venture-I think it will be a good experience for her. She felt a little bit bad cause one of the girls who was running against her started crying when she didn't win ;(.
